This anonymous drawing from the 18th century is a design for the elevation of a wall interior. The design includes elaborate ornamentation, including a sculpted figure standing on a pedestal within a niche framed by pilasters and a decorative cornice. The drawing highlights the Rococo style's emphasis on asymmetrical curves and intricate detail. The drawing's delicate lines suggest the architect's vision for a grand and ornate interior space, as it demonstrates the potential grandeur of a wall decorated in the Rococo style.
